Summary: Baekhyun has heard many rumours about the reclusive keeper of the Redhill Lighthouse, who lives alone on a tiny island not far from the fishing village where he grew up. A freak storm during a visit to the island leads him to an encounter with the keeper - a shy and gentle soul, with a fondness for wearing tropical shirts. Intrigued by the solitary romance of the lighthouse-keeping life, Baekhyun takes up the vacant position of keeper’s assistant, but soon discovers that there may be more to Chanyeol and his island home than what can be seen on the surface.
Author's Note: First of all, a massive thanks to M for beta-reading on short notice, and always being there to offer advice (and listen to me whine LOL). Huge thanks also to those who cheered me on when I was ready to dump this thing on its butt lol, and to the mods for working so tirelessly and being so understanding as always. Lastly, to the prompter: I fell in love with your beautiful prompt the first time I saw it in the last round. Back then, I didn't believe that I could write it; but when I saw it again this year, I knew I couldn't let it go a second time. The result is super experimental, and far from perfect. You may have to dive a bit deeper to get into this one, but I hope you will find something good. An accompanying playlist can be found here. Enjoy x
(The last time Baekhyun saw The Day's End, the boat was so far from the shore that he could have fit it between the thumb and forefinger of the hand he held out in front of him.)
